Karolinska University Hospital is much more than an acute care hospital – we are one of Scandinavia’s premier medical centers.
Together with Karolinska Institutet we represent the leading edge of medical science and patient care in Sweden. We believe that patient care, research, and education must play equally strong roles in our mission to extend and enhance people’s lives. As a major teaching hospital we educate the medical specialists and healthcare professionals of the future.
Our hospital is not only one of the largest in Scandinavia – we also represent the pinnacle of professional performance. By merging the Huddinge University Hospital, Inc. and Karolinska Hospital, we have forged an integrated organization that drives innovation and preserves our solid academic tradition.
Karolinska University Hospital is recognized for excellence – in Sweden as a teaching hospital and internationally as a center for clinical research – a reputation earned by setting the benchmark high. We are proud of our vision – future health care based on science and development. A goal in achieving our vision is to be recognized as one of Europe’s top five teaching hospitals by 2011.
